Today I had my first experience making it through the massive security apparatus and onto this campus I called home for five years, through two degrees, and I have to say - this view might be forever tainted by the experiences of the last year and a half

Just returned the proofs for my little roundtable essay in the forthcoming @radhistreview.bsky.social on the historiography of state violence in the "Mexican miracle" - a tribute to a bunch of my very favorite historians, who have shaped my own scholarship so much. In print in January!

My fave recent Thanksgiving feast was homemade dal makhani, palak paneer, baingan bharta, and some naan with lots of nigella seeds. We lived above an Indian restaurant that year, I guess it rubbed off?
